About us

How we are funded

We receive much of our funding from Defra, along with contributions from local district, county and borough councils. For some projects, we also bid for grant funding and support from other organisations.

We also bid for additional grant funding for specific projects. For example, for the Blackdown Hills Natural Futures project we received a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and received additional funding from Devon County Council Locality Budgets, Somerset County Health and Wellbeing Budget, South Somerset District Council Community Grant, South West Water, Wessex Water, Wessex Watermark and Viscount Amory’s Charitable Trust.
